The dollar amounts are indexed to a construction price measure from July 1, 2025
What the document says“The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be calculated by the Secretary using the percentage change in the Price Deflator Index of Multifamily Residential Units Under Construction released by the Bureau of the Census from March of the previous year to March of the year in which the adjustment is made”
The section rewrites the indexing rule in section 206A of the National Housing Act. Adjustments now commence on July 1, 2025 and are calculated from the change in the Price Deflator Index of Multifamily Residential Units Under Construction released by the Bureau of the Census, measured March to March. If that index is unavailable, the Secretary may use an alternative indicator after publishing information about it in the Federal Register for public comment.
What the document actually says“The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be calculated by the Secretary using the percentage change in the Price Deflator Index of Multifamily Residential Units Under Construction released by the Bureau of the Census from March of the previous year to March of the year in which the adjustment is made”
The housing agency works out how much the dollar limits rise. It uses one measure of building prices. It compares March one year to March the next.
The limits used to be adjusted from a date in 2004. Now they run from July 1, 2025. If the measure stops being published, the agency can pick another one.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
